Brett Holeman NJ school psychologist: How I called a girl a slut and got fired

Brett Holeman NJ school psychologist fired: Was one educator unfairly dismissed following an arbitration hearing following claims of erratic behavior?

Brett Holeman a 43 year old East Brunswick, New Jerseyschool psychologist on a $93,329 yearly retainer has been firedafter allegedly calling a student’s ex girlfriend a slut.

Other egregious acts according to Freehold Regional High School District included the teacher yelling at students, labeling staff members as ‘fxcking bxches’ and ‘mentally ill’ along with threatening the school principal.

The allegations led to Holeman being fired from his post following an arbitrator’s decision in May pursuant to a tenure hearing where it was claimed he’d exhibited a string of ‘erratic and concerning’ behavior.

According to tenure charges, an investigation in the spring of 2016 revealed a ‘a trail of lies, willful deceit, manipulation and frightening conduct’ by Holeman, who had served the school district since 2004 and holds a doctorate in psychology, the Asbury Park Press reported.

District administrators said that Holeman spoke with a male student that was upset over breaking-up with his girlfriend and allegedly told the boy that his ex was a ‘slut’.

But it gets better.

And then there was these comment on the web that made this author wonder:

‘Some things do not add up — one is the fact that he was employed for 12 years and had satisfactory evaluations. There were apparently no complaints.

The principal now states that things were not good with his employment and it was discovered after an investigation that his behavior and conduct was questionable. Really?

So for 12 years he was a good school staff member and then all of sudden he is the devil. The Board of Education will hear a recommendation from the superintendent as to either retain or terminate. The public will have their voice and their chance to support or condemn. Very few BOE vote against the superintendent’s recommendation. Even if he is terminated, this will be the beginning of a long legal battle to sue the BOE for “wrongful termination”.’

‘Let’s use our brains critically people! Before judgment let’s make our own opinions fairly. Look at rate my teachers.com page where kids can freely voice positive and negative opinions on staff. Dr Holeman’s reports are glowing year after year…interesting. Every comment I read from former students allegedly or parents is positive and it seems this man saved a lot of kids lives from suicide etc. from the decision I read attached, it seems like the district couldn’t get the man to resign though they tried to.’

‘Did he use some salty language? Maybe.

‘Is it anything a high school kid hasn’t heard before? I don’t think so. Frankly, it was good advice for a high school kid who thinks his life is over becasue his girlfriend left him.

Kids need to be taught toughness these days. This “my feelings are hurt” victim culture is why we have school shootings and a high suicide rate these days.’

Maybe, but did he have to be blatantly misogynistic? Speaking so disparagingly of a female, probably an underage female, is not anything anyone associated with a high school should be doing.
